Visitation

Church visitation is the ministry of personally visiting members, guests, the sick, the grieving, or the homebound to offer prayer, encouragement, and spiritual care on behalf of the church.

Church Visitation may include:

• Hospital Visitation – Visiting members who are hospitalized to pray with them and support their families.

• Homebound Visitation – Visiting elderly or shut-in members who cannot attend services.

• Guest Visitation – Following up with people who recently visited the church.

• Bereavement Visitation – Comforting families who have lost a loved one.

• Care Visitation – Checking on members going through illness, crisis, or life changes.

Biblical Foundation

Church visitation reflects the biblical call to care for others. 

James 1:27 speaks about visiting orphans and widows in their distress.

Matthew 25:36 highlights caring for the sick and those in need.
